Summer's coming up and life is short.... drive a convertible!

This is a physician-owned, immaculate, always-garaged, great-running (fast!), loaded Alpine white BMW 650i convertible with black leather seats and black top. Automatic transmission. Cold weather package (heated seats). Back-up sensor option makes for easy parking. 19" BMW sport alloy wheel upgrade (MUCH nicer than standard 6-series wheels- see insert pic). Bluetooth. 8.8" Navigation Screen w/ iDrive. Lit side door panels with BMW logo. Owner's manual and BMW-flashlight included. Only aftermarket upgrade was $500 tasteful carbon fiber mirror backings (see photo) which can be removed to reveal perfect condition factory white mirrors. Impeccable body and interior, with only minor imperfections as detailed above and in as much as possible in close-up photos. NEVER even seen the smallest of accidents. No active codes / check-engine lights. CLEAN Carfax showing its clean title (screen shots attached, and I can email full PDF to interested parties).

First owner paid $90k + tax and used it four years from it's mid-'06 production, putting 70k SoCal highway miles on it. Then my wife and I purchased it for $41k in 2010 and babied it with 7k mi per year since = 98k total. The sport tires are nearly new- changed 7k mi ago at cost of $1200 (have records). Rear brakes 50% remaining and front brakes 70% remaining.

We are expecting our first baby next month and will need an SUV for all the stuff that having a new addition entails! So rather than get low-balled at a dealership, I figured it'd be painless enough to try a quick week-long run on Ebay and see if a few hours labor can get me a much fairer price from an interested local individual, cutting out the middleman for both of us. No trades though, we will be buying our SUV new.

*** THE RESERVE PRICE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL, LOADED CAR IS WAY LESS THAN IT'S KBB VALUE ***

Last thing, regarding me the current owner. I am a physician (google me: Shanon Peter) and have a good reputation to maintain. I've not used Ebay Motors before, but am putting it in writing right here that I will go above and beyond the usual Ebay Motors policies to stand by this car. By that I mean: IF you are the winning bidder, please come to my Culver City house at a time we both agree on within three days of the auction's end, take the car for a test drive with me, and if you'd like, take it for inspection to any local mechanic or BMW dealer for an inspection (at your cost) or for free to Superperformance (my specialist BMW technicians, three miles away in Beverly Hills). If, after this, you feel that anything has been misrepresented or your mechanic finds a flaw not listed, I will gladly cancel the sale.

Happy bidding! Contact me with any questions: shanon.peter@post.harvard.edu.

Two rare Alpina BMWs given the Petrolicious treatment

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Alpina is getting more and more ink because of because of that rolling cannonade known as the B7 and its closer ties with BMW. The company's tuning business dates to 1962 when Burkard Bovensiepen began fiddling with Weber carburetors, then his company began racing in 1968 and was eventually certified as an automaker in 1983.
Two of its rarer specimens from those early years have gotten a glance from the folks at Petrolicious: the E24 B10 and E24 B7S. Based on the BMW 6 Series, the Alpina versions made one of the most special coupes from the Eighties even more so. According to the video, there were only 44 B10s made, and the turbocharged, 333-horsepower B7S - this was in a luxury coupe in 1982, mind you - saw only 33 examples produced.
You won't be sorry to find out more about them - and see how they run - in the Petrolicious video below.

2014 BMW X5 priced from $53,725*

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

A month after the official curtain was dropped, BMW has seen fit to release pricing information on its new 2014 X5 crossover. The X5 sDrive35i, which is the first rear-wheel-drive version of the X5, will begin at $53,725 (*including $925 for destination and handling) while the traditional all-wheel-drive X5 xDrive35i will begin at $56,025. Both feature BMW's well-regarded 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo N55 engine with 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.
The 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35d (Have these convoluted names confused you yet?) is priced at $57,525 with its 3.0-liter diesel engine (255 hp and 413 lb-ft), and, finally, the TwinPower Turbo V8-powered X5 xDrive50i (445 hp and 480 lb-ft) will start at $69,125. Buyers looking to customize their X5 experience can choose from the Luxury Line, xLine or M Sport packages, plus Ivory White and Mocha Interior Design Packages. Regardless of which engine is chosen, the X5 will come equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
For comparison, the 2013 X5 xDrive35i started at $48,425. That means the price has increased by over $5,000 despite not including standard all-wheel drive or by $7,600 when comparing apples to apples with similar six-cylinder engines and power to all four wheels. The V8 model increased by $4,000 and the diesel, interestingly enough, dropped by $100.

YouTube viewers prefer BMW

Fri, Sep 11 2015

BMW owners sometimes get a bad rap as being snobbish, rude drivers, but according to a new study by the online marketing company ZEFR, Bimmer aficionados also have a close relationship with the brand's vehicles. With well over 4 billion YouTube views, the German automaker is the industry's king of the road online. Making the popularity even sweeter for marketers, 95 percent of those clicks are for fan videos, which represents loads of free advertising. BMW isn't the only automaker with such an extensive following. Honda comes in a close second with around 4 billion views, and Mercedes-Benz is just a little behind it. Among all brands, it's the norm for fan-made videos rather than the official ones to get the lion's share of the clicks, generally 95 percent or more. "YouTube has become a treasure trove for connecting with the right people for automakers," Dave Rosner, ZEFR marketing boss, said to Automotive News. Beyond just a popularity contest among brands, automotive videos are big business on YouTube, according to ZEFR's research. Enthusiasts are leading the way, too. Racing is by far the most-watched category with 895,000 clips generating a staggering 8.2 billion views. Classic cars are also a very hot topic with 305,000 videos getting 1.6 billion clicks. Surprisingly, when it comes to watching auto videos, sedans are most popular on YouTube with over 9 billion views, according to Automotive News. Meanwhile, SUVs, performance vehicles, and pickups were each around 3 billion or less. You can check out the full study for yourself, as a PDF, here. Related Video:
